Tehran, August 25: Iran has said it has prepared a two-year plan to withstand the impact of expanded US sanctions as Washington steps up economic pressure on Tehran.
Iranian officials said the government had anticipated tougher sanctions and had been preparing measures to limit their impact on the country’s economy.
Iran’s Economy Minister said the country was prepared to manage the consequences of the latest US measures and would continue efforts to maintain economic stability despite increased restrictions.
The United States has expanded sanctions targeting Iranian individuals, organisations and economic activities as part of its continued pressure campaign against Tehran.
Iran has rejected the new sanctions and warned that it will take appropriate measures in response. Iranian authorities have also said the country is working to strengthen alternative economic arrangements and reduce its dependence on channels affected by US restrictions.
The latest developments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with the sanctions dispute adding further pressure to the broader regional security and economic situation.
By outlining a two-year strategy, Tehran has indicated that it is preparing for the possibility of prolonged sanctions and continued economic pressure from Washington.
